I just saw one of the greatest sights I've ever seen! A for sale sign on our neighbor's front lawn!

It's been nothing but aggravation from them ever since they moved in next door 10 years ago. It was always a nice quiet friendly street before that.

Finally, I wont be woke up at all hours of the night as their kids and their groups of friends stumble drunkenly up and down their driveway yelling at the top of their lungs, or from the screeching of their cars down the road. I wont have listen to their blaring music all day or at 3am on a weeknight or anything else they do anymore!

I tell you, there were times when I could think of nothing but how great it would be if their house would catch on fire, Glad to see them going, and that we didn't have to move ourselves because of them. I can't see anyone worst then them moving in, so I'm kinda anxious to meet whoever ends up replacing them.

Anyone else have 'the neighbor from hell' and just wish they would move out?

yournamehere

I used to.

Oh - and by the way - <b>Congratulations!</b>

I was the one that moved, though - a great job offer in another state.

Yeah - this guy next door had 6 dogs (on a suburban, less-than-10K s.f. lot) that all lived outdoors, and barked at all hours (and, of course it smelled like 6 dogs lived there). He and his wife were drunks, and had parties (outdoors - at their hot tub) till all hours, screaming and laughing. He told his kids it was OK to climb the fence and use our pool whenever they thought we weren't home. When we told them to stop, they threw paint into the pool (We knew it was them but couldn't prove it) He was constantly working on his boat (kept in the front yard) with his stereo blasting Guns 'n Roses (his one and only CD) at full volume. His washing machine wasn't connected to his sewer - it emptied outside so I had sudsy water flowing across my front yard every other day (Of course we were downhill of them). And to help pay for his boat, he did body work on the side, out of his garage, on weeknights and weekends - sawing, pounding, painting - the whole nine yards. Air compressors should be banned for residential use!

And that's not all - I could go on, but won't. I'm just glad it's over.

Aaaahh - memories.

LaughingCow, your neighbors and my parents neighbors must be related. When they moved in next door they played basketball til 3 in the morning, they park cars everywhere, the sidewalk, middle of the street, it dosn't matter to them. Oh and all of the additions to their house that don't meet building codes, their obnoxious friends. I too have hoped that their house would burn.

Luckily, I only see my bad neighbours occasionally. However, it's in the worst place - where I go to relax.

I have a cottage in the Peterborough area. It is generally pretty quite if one doesn't count the boat traffic. Then they moved in.

Normally it's fine. During the day they have theior music going, but it's normally good and not very loud so I can live with that. I can live with the sea-do's traveling entirely too fast in front of my cottage (as long as I am not out attempting to swim) but I can't handle the hot-tub outside the window with music going full at 3am.

I have tried talking to them, reasoning with them with no luck. I have had to get the police involved and it just seems to be getting worse.

Hr even offered to buy my cottage from me. heh.

Hey Bill, just put an anonymous phone call into the city inspectors office. When they come out and see all the construction done without permits, they are going to flip. Big time bill, or better yet they may make them take it all down.
P.S. This could work with the fire inspector too.

The worst neighbours I ever encountered were a Guy and his Wife who used to be the loudest lovemakers you could ever imagine.
Man that Woman could go off.
It was all hours too with session's lasting for 45 minutes and two or three times a night.(Every night).
We had only been married a few months and at first it was amusing but after a while it became annoying.
The block of units were we lived created an echo effect too and people would be yelling out at night for them to stop.

(Put the fucking thing in her mouth and shut her up)

Windows would slam shut and people would bang on their door.
Funny thing was the first day that I saw her I thought that she needs to make noise to make it interesting for him.
She was a two paper bag job.
The cops got called one day and in typical fashion there was four of them,(all male),that arrived.
I'll never forget the jovial approach these coppers had either,they were laughing from go to whoa and must have stayed downstairs talking to this couple for about half an hour.
They got a result though.

They moved out not long after thankfully.

I'm on 27 acres...it's all quiet and bliss here, except for the coyotes.

I'm glad for you that the idiots next door are moving away...that must be a nice feeling.

I hated my old neighbors. It's a long, long story, so I won't go in to it. They were stingy, clingy, and bitchy. A wonderful combo. But I ended up moving, not them.

I'm freiends with pretty much all my neighbors. Lucky me.

That must be an awesome feeling, now its time for YOU to have a party!

I had this old hag for a neighbor named "flo" who would complain constantly about some piece of garbage sticking out of my garage or how my lawn needed mowing (even if I mowed a few days ago) and she would call the cops on us if we made any noise at all even though we never had any company over after midnight.

We eventually moved because our jobs moved out of town so we rented a U-Haul and are moving some stuff with some friends when a police car pulls up... She had called the cops on us because a napkin from when someone was eating lunch had gone into her yard and we had littered on her property. The police officers laugher their asses off and told us pretty much just to be glad we were moving and feel bad for whoever moved in after us.

To this day my wife and I still joke about seeing Flo driving along down the street inspecting people's yards and calling the cops on them...

Well, there were the neighbors two houses down.

Drunks, druggies, plus they were your traditional "rednecks." They had a Mack truck in the front yard that they were constantly working on, they had junk all over the yard, and the neighborhood was great place to let the pitbull, the rottweiler, and the doberman wander (thak God they only had one of the dogs at a time.)

Just to give you an idea, two memorable incidents were the time that the guy who I will refer to as "R" got drunk, pissed off, and shot 3 clips from his pistol into the side of his truck, which was subsequently decorated with the spraypainted word, "OUCH." There was also the time that we came home to find the street lined with police and FBI vehicles, whose occupants were getting out in order to aid in the manhunt for R in the woods that our block is built around.

We were quite happy when they moved out.

mingusfingers

Awesome. I've got no experience with neighbors like that, if anyone it would be me, and I'm pretty tame.

we've had neighbors on one side us a while back who simply disappeared one night, good riddance 5th grade educated old hippies turned born again (hypocrite) christians. [shudders] the man was also like a creepy mr. pervy to top it off.

now on the other side of us is this grumpy old fuck i WISH would move, but he's been here since the houses were built 35 yrs ago, so i suspect the only way that he'll be moving away is in a pine box.

These guys liked to call the cops on people too. Even though they always have their yard filled with screaming idiots they actually called on us once saying someone was sceaming and making too much noise (I think my sister was yelling for like 5 minutes about finding her shoes...).

Even called the SPCA on us, saying we had a cat and kittens locked in our shed and had been beating them, all becasue we wouldn't let their daughter and her group of 10 sleezy friends chase a stray cat and it's babies into our backyard to catch them. We let the SPCA person check the shed, and told them the story. she believed us, and told US to call them if they chased the cat again.

Unbelievably annoying people they are...

I realise you had a bad experience but don't you think this is a little over the top? If you need them there really isn't any substitute.

Now gas mowers and trimmers, there's a ban I could get behind. Especially for that fool three doors down who mows or trims or hedge clips or leaf blows EVERY day starting at 7 AM. I tell ya winter is a blessing, he only runs the snow thrower when it snows.

Yeah I got one. This guy has 3 vehicles and the parking lots are set up so each house gets two cars, with visitor parking on the sides. This guy is ALWAYS parking in out spare space which most of the time itt's not used but If I have friends or family over I expect that space to be clear for them to park.

Plus he has this humongous home theater system right on our adjoining wall (it's a townhouse) and the bass is set to meltdown frequency at any volume. We had an argument about it once and he ended up moving it off that wall but he didn't like it there I guess since I saw it later right back against our wall a month or so later after I heard it bad again. Not the worst neighbor but annoying enough. I've had worse tho in more ghettofied "hoods" when me and my gf first moved in together. At least my kid can go out and play now.
